RC522 RFID Card Reader Module 13.56MHz

The RC522 RFID Card Reader Module 13.56MHz is a low-cost, MFRC522-based RFID reader that is easy to use and versatile, suitable for a wide range of applications.

The MFRC522 is a highly integrated reader/writer IC designed for contactless communication at 13.56 MHz. Developed by NXP, the RC522 RFID card reader is known for its low power consumption, compact size, and cost-effectiveness, making it an excellent choice for smart meter development and portable hand-held devices.

The MFRC522 uses an advanced modulation system and is fully integrated for 13.56MHz non-contact communication, supporting various protocols. It is compatible with ISO14443A signals and includes a DSP for handling ISO14443A frames and error correction. Additionally, it supports rapid CRYPTO1 encryption for validating Mifare series products and facilitates high-speed duplex communication at up to 424 kb/s. As part of the 13.56MHz RFID family, the MFRC522 shares many features with the MF RC5200 and MF RC530 while introducing new enhancements.

This module is ideal for integration into handheld devices for mass production. It operates on a 3.3V power supply and can communicate directly with any CPU board via the SPI protocol, ensuring reliable operation and high reading distances.
